- Supply each team with an equal number of flags, a bunch of soft tossables and one bucket.
- Instruct each team to place their set of identifiable flags inside the bucket at the rear of their safe zone.
- When ready, invite each team to retrieve all of their opponent’s flags and place them inside their own bucket.
- Announce that people may be eliminated by (a) being tagged within their opponent’s safe zone, or (b) being hit by a soft tossable in their own safe area.
